We are currently half way through round 2. The A grade under the leadership of new captain Jason Gaerth made a positive start to the season with a win over Goodwood at Payneham Oval in round 1 with Chris Underwood staring taking 7 for 16. But they will need another bowling performance like that to claim the points this round after being dismissed for 155 against PAOC on the weekend how ever claiming a late wicked on day 1 leaving the match in the balance with the score 1 for 20. |
